We (2 adults, 2 teens) had a very fun adventure traveling to the top of Swansea Mountain. We found Swansea Mountain Rd access off of Windermere Loop Road and began the climb. We were in a 4x4 vehicle, which is *required* if you're driving to the parking spot up top. We had our sights set on driving to the top, which was half of the adventure! The road is solid, but definitely has sizeable potholes, grooves and bumps. The hike from the upper parking to the summit is short but steep. Any level of hiking experience can do it. The views from the top are fantastic and worth the drive/climb. Note: do your best not to ride the brakes all the way back down. Downshift and take your time. Very fun adventurous drive, fun (short) hike, beautiful views.
2. Westside legacy trail

We went biking on the trail this summer and approximately 10 of the 25 km was finished and paved. Let me tell you this was awesome. Spectacular views and a wonderful ride. I am so pumped to try this when the full trail is finished to Fairmont. Be aware that this trail is not like the Cranbrook to Kimberly Rails to Trails path which was made on an old train line with gradual slope. The Westside Legacy Trail has quite significant hill climbs and of course the fun descents. I would say you would need at least an average level of biking fitness to make this enjoyable. ***Also a Warning*** some of the hills have sharp switchback corners with significant drop offs on the side of the path. If you are an in-experienced rider or going with young kids, be aware of this because I do foresee people going too fast downhill and unable to navigate some of the corners.

We came just to see the beautiful views. They really are stunning. Lots of picnic tables and playgrounds too, water is sandy though the beach is not. Large bathrooms. We walked all along the shore nearly to Kinsmen beach. Highly recommend.
